1. Get a good sheet-fed scanner. I use the Fujitsu ScanSnap -- it is very dependable and fast. Any paper documents that come in get scanned, then either imported into AC (if you need to refer to them frequently) or archived into a patient-specific reference file on your networked file server (for rarely needed data).
2, If you use Updox, you don't need a fax machine or a fax telephone line to receive or send faxes, and you have a patient portal if you want to make reports available to patients.
3. Use AC for all encounter notes, orders, eRx.
That's it, you are completely paperless.
